Nico is also probably working on it. My big concern with pack v4 right now is the on-disk format of commits/trees is different from the current wire protocol. If a pack v2 only client connected to a server using pack v4, the server would have to spend a lot of time to inflate/deflate about 60% of the objects in the repository (commits and trees). That is a lot of CPU time. So even if a SoC-er finished the work, it probably wouldn't be merged because of this penalty. -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
